Compiling a Sample Application
------------------------------
-Once a DPDK target environment directory has been created (such as
-x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang), it contains all libraries and header files required
-to build an application.
+The DPDK example applications make use of the pkg-config file installed on
+the system when DPDK is installed, and so can be built using GNU make.
-When compiling an application in the FreeBSD* environment on the DPDK,
-the following variables must be exported:
-
-* RTE_SDK - Points to the DPDK installation directory.
-
-* RTE_TARGET - Points to the DPDK target environment directory.
- For FreeBSD*, this is the x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang or
- x86_64-native-bsdapp-gcc directory.
-
-The following is an example of creating the helloworld application, which runs
-in the DPDK FreeBSD* environment. While the example demonstrates compiling
-using gcc version 4.8, compiling with clang will be similar, except that the "CC="
-parameter can probably be omitted. The "helloworld" example may be found in the
-${RTE_SDK}/examples directory.
-
-The directory contains the main.c file. This file, when combined with the
-libraries in the DPDK target environment, calls the various functions to
-initialize the DPDK environment, then launches an entry point (dispatch
-application) for each core to be utilized. By default, the binary is generated
-in the build directory.
+.. note::
-.. code-block:: console
+ BSD make cannot be used to compile the DPDK example applications. GNU
+ make can be installed using `pkg install gmake` if not already installed
+ on the FreeBSD system.
- user@host:~/DPDK$ cd examples/helloworld/
- user@host:~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ setenv RTE_SDK $HOME/DPDK

- LD helloworld
- INSTALL-APP helloworld
- INSTALL-MAP helloworld.map
- user@host:~/DPDK/examples/helloworld$ ls build/app

+The following shows how to compile the helloworld example app, following
+the installation of DPDK using `ninja install` as described previously::
-.. note::
+ $ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
- In the above example, helloworld was in the directory structure of the
- DPDK. However, it could have been located outside the directory
- structure to keep the DPDK structure intact. In the following case,
- the helloworld application is copied to a new directory as a new starting
- point.

Running a Sample Application
----------------------------
-#. The contigmem and nic_uio modules must be set up prior to running an application.
+#. The ``contigmem`` and ``nic_uio`` modules must be set up prior to running an application.
-#. Any ports to be used by the application must be already bound to the nic_uio module,
+#. Any ports to be used by the application must be already bound to the ``nic_uio`` module,
as described in section :ref:`binding_network_ports`, prior to running the application.
The application is linked with the DPDK target environment's Environment
Abstraction Layer (EAL) library, which provides some options that are generic
to every DPDK application.
-The following is the list of options that can be given to the EAL:
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- ./rte-app -c COREMASK -n NUM [-b <domain:bus:devid.func>] [-r NUM] [-v] [--proc-type <primary|secondary|auto>]
-
-.. note::
-
- EAL has a common interface between all operating systems and is based on the
- Linux* notation for PCI devices. For example, a FreeBSD* device selector of
- pci0:2:0:1 is referred to as 02:00.1 in EAL.
-
-The EAL options for FreeBSD* are as follows:
-
-* -c COREMASK
- : A hexadecimal bit mask of the cores to run on. Note that core numbering
- can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand.
-
-* -n NUM
- : Number of memory channels per processor socket.
-
-* -b <domain:bus:devid.func>
- : blacklisting of ports; prevent EAL from using specified PCI device
- (multiple -b options are allowed).
+A large number of options can be given to the EAL when running an
+application. A full list of options can be got by passing `--help` to a
+DPDK application. Some of the EAL options for FreeBSD are as follows:
-* --use-device
- : use the specified ethernet device(s) only. Use comma-separate
- <[domain:]bus:devid.func> values. Cannot be used with -b option.
+* ``-c COREMASK`` or ``-l CORELIST``:
+ A hexadecimal bit mask of the cores to run on. Note that core numbering
+ can change between platforms and should be determined beforehand. The corelist
+ is a list of cores to use instead of a core mask.
-* -r NUM
- : Number of memory ranks.
+* ``-b <domain:bus:devid.func>``:
+ Blocklisting of ports; prevent EAL from using specified PCI device
+ (multiple ``-b`` options are allowed).
-* -v
- : Display version information on startup.
+* ``--use-device``:
+ Use the specified Ethernet device(s) only. Use comma-separate
+ ``[domain:]bus:devid.func`` values. Cannot be used with ``-b`` option.
-* --proc-type
- : The type of process instance.
+* ``-v``:
+ Display version information on startup.
-Other options, specific to Linux* and are not supported under FreeBSD* are as follows:
+* ``-m MB``:
+ Memory to allocate from hugepages, regardless of processor socket.
-* socket-mem
- : Memory to allocate from hugepages on specific sockets.
+Other options, specific to Linux and are not supported under FreeBSD are as follows:
-* --huge-dir
- : The directory where hugetlbfs is mounted.
+* ``socket-mem``:
+ Memory to allocate from hugepages on specific sockets.
-* --file-prefix
- : The prefix text used for hugepage filenames.
+* ``--huge-dir``:
+ The directory where hugetlbfs is mounted.
-* -m MB
- : Memory to allocate from hugepages, regardless of processor socket.
- It is recommended that --socket-mem be used instead of this option.
+* ``mbuf-pool-ops-name``:
+ Pool ops name for mbuf to use.
-The -c and the -n options are mandatory; the others are optional.
-
-Copy the DPDK application binary to your target, then run the application
-as follows (assuming the platform has four memory channels, and that cores 0-3
-are present and are to be used for running the application):
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- root@target:~$ ./helloworld -c f -n 4
-
-.. note::
+* ``--file-prefix``:
+ The prefix text used for hugepage filenames.
- The --proc-type and --file-prefix EAL options are used for running multiple
- DPDK processes. See the “Multi-process Sample Application” chapter
- in the *DPDK Sample Applications User Guide and the DPDK
- Programmers Guide* for more details.
+The ``-c`` or ``-l`` option is mandatory; the others are optional.
.. _running_non_root:
Although applications using the DPDK use network ports and other hardware
resources directly, with a number of small permission adjustments, it is possible
-to run these applications as a user other than “root”. To do so, the ownership,
+to run these applications as a user other than "root". To do so, the ownership,
or permissions, on the following file system objects should be adjusted to ensure
that the user account being used to run the DPDK application has access
to them:
-* The userspace-io device files in /dev, for example, /dev/uio0, /dev/uio1, and so on
+* The userspace-io device files in ``/dev``, for example, ``/dev/uio0``, ``/dev/uio1``, and so on
-* The userspace contiguous memory device: /dev/contigmem
+* The userspace contiguous memory device: ``/dev/contigmem``
